The only thing I remember seeing in the gift shop is cigars. But they could have Pipe Tobacco as well. I would bring some just to be on the safe side.
Yes, there is smoking on all balconies on the Ecstasy.
The Splendor that just came out is the only ship that has no smoking on the SPA balconies only. Smoking on the other balconies is allowed.
We are sailing on the Ecstasy on Sept 1st. Can't wait!!!
